Albania visa for Bangladeshis

The Albanian Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs says Type C short-stay visas (up to 90 days in 180) start with an online application on e-visa.al, followed by document submission at an Albanian mission, and a visa is generally issued within 15 days. The ministry page does not mention Bangladesh, and third-party sources conflict on whether Bangladeshis need a visa, so we checked on 31 October 2026 and mark Bangladesh-specific rules and fees 'Confirm with our office'.
